On a cutting board, start off your mulled wine experience by slicing
apples and oranges into pretty rounds. Into a large stock pot add
fruit slices, black and green grapes. On a cutting board, crush
cardamom pods and place into the cooking pot. Sprinkle clove
stems and cinnamon sticks also. On medium heat add two cups
of apple cider and allow flavors to develop. When fruit and
cider mixture is at a simmer, pour in the two bottles of Merlot.
Allow to lightly simmer for twenty minutes. Stir in one cup of
apple cider and two cups of the tawny port wine. Simmer for
another twenty minutes. Taste. Take off stove and strain fruit
and spices. Pour into glass mugs while warm. Garnish with
a mulled Pink Lady® Apple slice. Reserve mulled fruit for
a lovely after dinner treat. Store in mason glass jars with
